The Dayton Flyers were understandably ecstatic on Thursday when they knocked off No. 6 seed Ohio State to advance to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. The victory took 40 minutes of hard-nosed basketball and hustle, and the celebration got a …
Ohio State head coach Thad Matta and Dayton coach Archie Miller had to have known they were in for a close game on Thursday when they showed up wearing the same clothes. The coaches got together to chat for a bit before the opening tip, and Matta …
Ohio State’s Shannon Scott committed a bad foul with 26.3 seconds left in the Buckeyes’ first-round game against Dayton (yes, it’s a first-round game, I don’t consider the play-ins first-round games) in the NCAA Tournament on …
If you watched any of the Round of 64 game between Wisconsin and American University on Thursday, you may have noticed something a bit bizarre. American U. center Tony Wroblicky shoots his free throws with one hand. No, he doesn’t take his …
The unofficial start of the NCAA Tournament (we won’t count the play-in games) is one of the best days of the calendar year to leave work early. We all know the March Madness drama waits for no one, and some of the afternoon games on Thursday …
